My friend and colleague Jeff Morton coined a very good NBA phrase for the situation the Nuggets find themselves in with the Knicks: Outsourcing tanking. What? We'll explain...
During the 2013-14 NBA season, Nuggets fans were hoping that the New York Knicks disaster season would stay that way. The reason Nuggets Nation was hopeful for the Knicks demise? Simple, Denver was to receive the more favorable draft pick between the two teams - with the worse pick going to Orlando, as part of the Andre Iguodala, Dwight Howard, Arron Afflalo, and Al Harrington mega trade.
